WHAT HAPPENED

On 7 October, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) attributed to Suyana bloc member Sami Oushana a claim that the Central Bank and Finance Ministry had submitted an emergency memorandum requesting a higher dollar rate. The outlet also carried Parliamentary Finance Committee deputy chair Ikhlas al-Dulaimi’s reassurance that parallel-market problems were temporary, alongside criticism from political analyst Muhammad al-Husseini, economist Diya al-Muhsin and former State of Law MP Hussein Mardan about household costs. Guest Ribwar Urakhman put the salary impact at 15–20%; the memorandum and that numerical estimate remain attributed claims.

WHY IT MATTERS

Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) carried both reassurance about market conditions and criticism of a rate increase, so its guest coverage cannot be reduced to a single AAH policy position.
